« on: July 13, 2011, 04:27:35 pm »
Hi guys. I was looking around you tube and came arcoss something really cool i hought you guys might like. It's a show called the game chasers. I'ts like american pickers for classic video games. These two guys go around to flea markets and peoples houses looking for good deals on games. I thought it was interesting and pretty funny as well. I think there are 5 eps sofar. Heres a link to episode 1.

Damn it, somebody stole my idea for a show AGAIN. 

Oh well, I guess it's back to "???"  but pretty soon.... profit!

Thanks to this thread I watched every episode and also watched every episode of Retro Hunters. Both shows are good if you are a nut for collecting and going on "the hunt" like I am.

They copied American Pickers and didn't know about Retro Hunters until they'd already made the first video. They say so after the end credits of the first one.

Are they both also sponsored by Screw Attack? Game chasers have their videos on there, and retro hunters had a guest from game chasers. I've actually gone to the Flea market that claims to be the biggest in california that the retro hunters visit in later episodes (it's in San Jose), I wasn't looking for old games back then though.
